I am 59, type 2. Oral medications although I am active I do no formal exercise. I have lost 45 pound in the last year and I am trying to lose more. I am also on Plavix and I cut easy. I am so ready to blame my sores on the diabetes but I have always had sensitive skin and recently I have had boils (2). My mother and grandmother each had type 2 and they died of problems not related to diabetes.

High blood sugars can create an environment that predisposes you to infections, bacterial and yeast. Staying in good control helps to prevent this from occurring more frequently. I would have these checked out by your own health care to evaluate. I would also ask how your last A1C was and try to troubleshoot from there. Take care!
